My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 83
As the car pulled out of the parking lot, Lin Mo suddenly asked, “Did we forget something?”
Su Qixi shook her head. A moment later, Feng Ye called, yelling, “You didn’t bring the VJ! You forgot the VJ!”
Lin Mo clapped her hands. “We forgot Zhou Ping.”
Su Qixi: “…”
Of course, one Zhou Ping wasn’t enough. Feng Ye sent another team, including an associate director, and they agreed to meet at the airport.
When Su Qixi and Lin Mo arrived, they were met with a sea of people. Yesterday’s live stream had announced their departure, and fans of the various celebrities and their respective couples had all flocked to the airport to see them off.
When Su Qixi and Lin Mo got out of the car, the crowd erupted in a thunderous roar. Lin Mo was startled. She glanced at the excited crowd, amazed. Falling in love can really attract fans. No wonder there are so many dating shows now.
“Aaaaaaah! It’s Lin Mo! I saw her in person!”
“Susu, look at me, look at me!”
“Wife! Wife!”
The excited shouts were not new to Lin Mo, but they were still a powerful sight.
Su Qixi was clearly used to it. “This many fans also came when we were filming the show.”
Lin Mo nodded, then turned to her and said, “But this is the first time they’ve come to see me off.”
Su Qixi looked up at her, her smile as dazzling as a blooming lotus. She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in Lin Mo’s ear, “Did you secretly come to my show before, hiding among them?”
“Aaaaaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”
No one could have known how excited the Qilin fans were at that moment. The couple was real, and not only that, but they were being so intimate in public. It was incredibly sweet!
The crowd’s screams exploded the moment Su Qixi leaned toward Lin Mo.
Lin Mo paused, glanced at the fans, and then smiled playfully. “What do you think would happen if I kissed you right now?”
Su Qixi: “…”
Lin Mo laughed at her speechless expression and ruffled her hair. “I’m just kidding, just kidding.”
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!”
The shouts grew even louder. A group of fans in one area started pushing forward. This truly frightened Lin Mo. With so many people, a surge could easily lead to a trampling accident.
Xiong Jingjing, who had just taken the suitcases from the trunk, heard the commotion and looked at Su Qixi and Lin Mo sternly, a vein throbbing on her forehead. “If anything happens, I’ll sacrifice both of you.”
Su Qixi: “…”
Lin Mo: “…”
After the scolding, the two of them immediately calmed down. Su Qixi asked Lin Mo with a stiff expression, “Still curious?”
Lin Mo shook her head and quickly went to help Sister Xiong with the suitcases. The group was then escorted by airport security to a VIP lounge to rest, escaping the fan frenzy. Of course, this didn’t stop Sister Xiong from giving them a painful dressing-down.
Once the scolding was over, Zhou Ping and his team arrived. Since they were about to board, Zhou Ping turned on the camera and started a simple filming session. Before boarding, they even ran into the other guests who were waiting for their flights.
A Change of Plans
Su Qixi and Lin Mo arrived at North City airport around 5 p.m. The number of fans who came to greet them was even greater than at the Xiangcheng airport. At this moment, the widespread popularity of Qilin became a tangible reality.
They were not allowed to leave through the main entrance. The airport arranged a separate route for them to take because there were too many people in the front, and they feared a stampede.
When they arrived at the hotel and got to their room, they finally felt relieved. Lin Mo, who preferred a low-key life, felt a bit tired from the experience. Xiong Jingjing didn’t separate them, figuring since they were public, they might as well stay in the same room. She and Bai Jin also booked their own rooms, then told everyone to put their luggage away before coming downstairs for dinner.
Su Qixi’s suitcase was brought directly from the Home Inn. She placed it by the bed and came out to find Lin Mo resting on the sofa with her eyes closed.
Su Qixi walked over, sat beside her, and asked, “Tired?”
Lin Mo smiled, opened her eyes, and looked at Su Qixi. Her soft eyes were filled with affection, which made Su Qixi’s heart flutter.
Lin Mo shook her head. “I’m okay, just a little cold. I didn’t bring any warm clothes.”
Su Qixi exclaimed, “Me neither. I’ll ask Bai Jin to buy us some later. Let’s just eat at the hotel tonight. It’s warm in here with the heating.”
Lin Mo hummed in agreement and leaned back, closing her eyes again. By this time, North City was completely dark. Outside, occasional car horns blared. The light from the ceiling cast a soft glow on Lin Mo, like a halo.
Her exquisite profile, her gently closed eyelids, and her long eyelashes were all works of art. No matter when Su Qixi looked at her, her heart couldn’t help but feel flustered.
She leaned close, rested her head on Lin Mo’s shoulder, and whispered, “Lin Mo.”
Lin Mo: “Hm?”
Su Qixi giggled. “Lin Mo.”
Lin Mo opened her eyes and looked at her in confusion. Su Qixi smiled brightly. “I just think it’s so magical!” In truth, Su Qixi still felt that it wasn’t quite real.
The Lin Mo who had disappeared for eight years had returned, and what started as unrequited love had turned into a mutual crush. It was like a dying person seeing a hallucination. In the dead of night, Su Qixi would wonder if this was all a self-fulfilling fantasy. It was only when they were intimate that she felt a sense of reality. She loved the openness and the physical closeness with Lin Mo.
Lin Mo blinked, confused. “Magical? Like a superhero?”
Su Qixi laughed out loud. She took out a photo frame and showed it to Lin Mo. Inside was the photo Lin Mo had given her, with the confession letter written on the back. This photo represented both the moment Su Qixi’s heart was broken and Lin Mo’s silent confession.
She didn’t understand why Lin Mo did what she did and couldn’t immediately believe her absurd story about leaving Earth. But she was so happy now that she didn’t want to question it. As long as things stayed this way, she was content.
Lin Mo took the frame and examined it. Since Su Qixi bought it, it wasn’t cheap. She noticed it was double-sided. Lin Mo couldn’t help but smile. “You sure can find such strange things.”
Su Qixi took the frame back. “I had it custom-made. It’s very important to me. When I get home, I’ll put it in the safe.”
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. “You’re not going to keep it on your bedside table to look at every day? You’re putting it in a safe?”
Su Qixi stuck out her tongue. “None of your business.”
Just as they finished talking, Xiong Jingjing knocked on the door. The hotel was well-secured, and no fans had managed to get in. Zhou Ping and the others had booked standard rooms and were already setting up their equipment in the restaurant.
When Lin Mo and Su Qixi were seated, they began filming. There wasn’t much to record. During dinner, Xiong Jingjing reviewed their upcoming work schedule. Lin Mo just ate quietly without interrupting.
Flying had been tiring, so after dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Only Bai Jin, wearing a thick jacket, was resigned to her fate, heading out to buy clothes for them since they hadn’t brought any.
A Skiing Date
The next day, Bai Jin had everything ready. Xiong Jingjing had also arranged a car early, and they drove to the ski resort.
On the way, Bai Jin handed the ski gear to the two of them. Lin Mo looked at the items. Bai Jin wasn’t good at picking things, but she knew that expensive was always the right choice, so she had chosen high-end brands.
Su Qixi was not familiar with ski gear. She had been a few times before and only knew how to ski on the beginner slopes. She thought it was fun, which was why she wanted to bring Lin Mo to North City for their final two days.
Thinking about how her coach had taught her, Su Qixi felt eager to try. Recalling the eight years of blank space, she realized Lin Mo seemed to have learned so much more. She quickly asked Lin Mo, “Do you know how to ski?” Then, with anticipation, she added, “It’s okay if you don’t, I’ll teach you.”
Bai Jin quickly interjected, “Boss, you’ve only skied three times. I’ve already contacted a private coach from the ski resort.”
Su Qixi thought that since Lin Mo was a beginner, her own experience wasn’t enough.
But Lin Mo shook her head. “I don’t need a coach. I know how to.”
Bai Jin let out a soft “oh” and naturally texted to cancel the coach. She mumbled to herself, “As expected of Lin Mo! She knows how to do this too.”
Su Qixi blinked her big eyes, thinking that maybe Lin Mo was just a beginner like her. She asked, “Are you good?”
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then said with a bit of uncertainty, “I think, if it’s something I know, I shouldn’t be too bad.”
Su Qixi: “…That’s a big claim.” She let out a cold laugh.
The two of them soon arrived at the ski resort. The ski outfits Bai Jin bought were pink tops and beige pants. Su Qixi and Lin Mo’s outfits were identical, making them matching couple clothes.
They changed in the ski resort’s changing room and were then led to the slope by a staff member. Since Su Qixi was still a beginner, even after three times, she wasn’t a pro. Coupled with her work schedule for the next two days, Xiong Jingjing had initially disagreed with her coming to the ski resort. She only agreed on the condition that they stay on the beginner slope.
They put on their helmets, goggles, gloves, and protective gear before stepping onto their snowboards. Bai Jin had bought them snowboards, and Su Qixi was a little worried. “I used two skis last time.”
Standing at the entrance of the slope, adjusting her gloves, she heard Lin Mo’s words. Lin Mo reached out to her with a smile and said, “I’m here today. Come on, give me your hand.”
Su Qixi’s heart skipped a beat. She knew it was more dangerous for them to be together, given her lack of experience. But she trusted Lin Mo, so she placed her hand in hers.
Even through the gloves, when Lin Mo held her hand, Su Qixi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. Despite their intimate relationship, they still felt as innocent as a new couple.
Lin Mo led Su Qixi down the slope. The beginner slope was very gentle, with no obstacles, and the surrounding protection was very good. Su Qixi was initially afraid of bumping into Lin Mo’s board and making them fall, but she soon realized her worries were unnecessary.
When Lin Mo said she knew how to ski and was pretty good, she was being humble. As they glided down the slope, no matter what Su Qixi did or what path she took, Lin Mo could easily avoid her, preventing their boards from colliding.
She stood on the snowboard as if she were on flat ground. Her graceful form—effortlessly controlling her edges, and with slight adjustments of her body, easily controlling her speed and direction—was that of a seasoned veteran. Her movements were agile, steady, and practiced. She was absolutely incredible.
That feeling of effortless ease was not from a beginner. This was a new side of Lin Mo that Su Qixi had never seen before—beautiful, cool, and so relaxed in her every move that it made Su Qixi’s heart beat faster than ever.
“What are you looking at? Control your speed, you’re going too fast.” Lin Mo noticed Su Qixi was in a daze and called out to her.
Fortunately, it wasn’t Su Qixi’s first time skiing. Despite a few bumps, with Lin Mo by her side, she easily brought her speed under control.
The ski resort was covered in a vast, endless blanket of white snow. Su Qixi held Lin Mo’s hand and felt that the northern wind and the rushing air around her were different from usual, carrying a sweet scent.
“Lin Mo.” Su Qixi wanted to show her what she could do. She said, “Look, I can spin.”
The few times she had been there before, she had hired a private coach. After learning to control her direction and speed, the coach also taught her some fancy tricks that were relatively difficult for beginners.
Lin Mo didn’t stop her. Su Qixi spun a full circle as she went down the slope and quickly put her hand back in Lin Mo’s to keep her balance. Then she gave a brilliant smile and asked, like a confident heroine, “Wasn’t that amazing?”
Lin Mo also smiled. “It was truly amazing.”
Su Qixi laughed happily. “Right? The coach said I was amazing too.”
The two of them laughed and played under the clear sky, rushing down the ski slope with a plume of snow kicked up behind them. Their carefree laughter and agile movements, along with their unique chemistry as a couple, were so palpable. Even through the camera, their closeness was obvious.
Zhou Ping couldn’t help but think about how many “couple” fans they would win over when this was aired.
The two of them skied all the way to the bottom, with Su Qixi’s laughter like a silver bell. That day, she skied several times with Lin Mo. Slowly, her movements started to match Lin Mo’s. They could spin together, change edges together, and jump together. They could even hold hands and glide down the slope side-by-side, and quickly kiss each other in the process.
The incredibly sweet skiing made time fly by. It wasn’t until lunchtime that Su Qixi started to feel a little exhausted. They ate lunch together, and in the afternoon, they stopped skiing and just explored.
They childishly lay in a pile of snow, childishly hugged each other and spun around, and childishly built a snowman.
They played until 4 p.m. As the sky began to darken, they got up to pack and head back. Xiong Jingjing and Bai Jin followed behind them.
Su Qixi was still ahead, asking Lin Mo, “Lin Mo, is there anything you’re not good at?”
Lin Mo: “Why are you asking that?”
Su Qixi: “I want to teach you something you don’t know.”
Lin Mo was silent for a moment. “Is it possible that what I don’t know, you don’t know either?”
Su Qixi: “…” And just like that, the love ends for today.
